Equal Access Legal Services is the first nonprofit law firm in the Philadelphia region that provides affordable legal services to low-to-middle income residents. We charge on a sliding scale depending on your verified income and family size starting as low as $75.00. Our mission is to bridge the gap for those individuals or families that fall outside traditional accesses to legal services such as free legal services or attorney fees at market rate.
